‘I always say that’s why kids need to go into sport, it’s not at the highest level or anything like that.
‘It’s what you learn through sports, winning, losing, working hard being a good person and you don’t know how you’re going to react to rats and heights, but all the guys who played for incredible teams Have equipped me well for the wilderness. ‘ she explained.
She tried to stay on her best behavior in the woods knowing her family at home would be watching, she said: ‘I was trying to downplay it at first because I was like Jill, you live on ITV Your grandmother is watching, your nephew, your niece but then as it went on you forgot you were on a TV show.’
She was the only woman to stay in the camp for eight days, but says she saw no need to hold back the likes of Matt Hancock and Mike Tindall.
Jill told Ant and Dec: ‘I never thought about it that way, I didn’t. They were very welcoming. Obviously I’m a bit of a tomboy who plays football. They weren’t like ‘Oh, you sit down, and I’ll get the logs’, I still had to get the water, clean the logs, Danny. No, I never felt that I never did.
Her fiancee Shelly was met at the Red Bridge by the unit, who embraced the champion with a big hug after the engaged couple dated for over a month.
